My understanding is that societies in the Americas simply hadn't learned to smelt yet. With the exception of the Incas who knew how to smelt bronze.
I'm pretty sure that resources weren't a problem since I think I've heard of Native Americans using hematite. And I'm pretty sure climate wasn't a problem since other cultures from the same era, like Indonesia, which is tropical and exactly on the equator, knew how to smelt iron.
But I'm no expert, I could be wrong.
